Hinata and Neji decided to leave the village, to escape the hatred between the Main Family and Branch Family... But what will happen when they must save the Branch Family from doom? Will they be able to rise to the challenge? HinataxNeji. R&R Please!

"We need to go." he told her. She nodded in understandings, and stood, trying to rub the sleep from her eyes.

She still wasn't aware of how urgent the situation was. Neji didn't plan on telling her, because he knew of how Hinata liked to over-work herself in dire situations.

Neji slowly slipped out of his bed roll and, using all of his strength, got up onto his feet...However, he began to wobble, and was only saved from falling when Hinata rushed to his side, helping him recover his balance.

"T-Thanks." he said, nodding to Hinata, who smiled at him.

After quickly packing up their essentials, Hinata and Neji headed out, with Neji leaning some of his weight against Hinata for support.

But, once they reached the gates of the Hidden Leaf leading out to the forest, a familiar voice called from behind, "Neji! Hinata!"

They turned, and saw that Sakura was running up to them, with a bag on her back.
